<h2><strong>Best FPL Forwards for Gameweek 3</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><br />
Alexander Isak (£8.5m) – Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Spurs (H)</strong></p>
<p>Isak hasn't had the start to the season that most expected. He has only managed an assist in games against Southampton and Bournemouth, albeit Newcastle United were down to 10 men against the Saints.</p>
<p>I don't think we have to worry about the Swede just yet, and his output and stats from previous seasons indicate that this is just a blip and he will come good soon enough.</p>
<p>He does have a good fixture to bag his first goal this week, as Newcastle welcome Ange Postecoglou's Spurs to St James Park.</p>
<p>Newcastle will no doubt get plenty of chances in this game and I think it could be a high scoring one.</p>
<p>With <strong>Callum Wilson (£7.0m)</strong> still out, Isak will be the first choice penalty taker and get plenty of minutes. He has played 90 minutes in each of his first two.</p>
<p>Isak is predicted to be the second highest scoring forward (6.6 points) for Gameweek 3 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Kai Havertz (£8.0m) – Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brighton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Kai Havertz has played 90 minutes in the opening two games, and the German produced a goal and an assist.</p>
<p>With <strong>Gabriel Jesus (£6.9m)</strong> potentially injured, Havertz should be assured for 90 minutes again.</p>
<p>Havertz is the focal point of this Arsenal team who are one of the best attacking sides in the league, so will get chances to score in most games.</p>
<p>He has registered an xG of 0.77 in his opening fixtures which bodes well for future returns.</p>
<p>The Gunners also have a decent home fixture against Brighton, which they will be strong favourites to win.</p>
<p>Arsenal are the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (48%) in Gameweek 3 and Havertz will be one of the favourites to score in this fixture too.</p>
<p>He is the third highest predicted scoring forward (5.6 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) – Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester City (a)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins scored 19 goals and 18 assists last season, with an xG of 16.74 and an xA of 4.02.</p>
<p>This was a phenomenal feat given that he wasn't even on penalties.</p>
<p>That may eveb change this season though, after the departure of regular penalty taker Douglas Luiz to Juventus. I think either Watkins or<strong> Youri Tielemans (£5.5m)</strong> will take them.</p>
<p>Watkins is an all-round forward with both goal and assist threat and is nailed to start.</p>
<p>Although his early subs in the first two matches are mildly concerning, I think this might be due to him building match fitness due to playing no pre-season at all.</p>
<p>Regardless he is still a fantastic option for Gameweek 3, with a very kind fixture against Leicester City.</p>
<p>Villa are a fantastic attacking side and Watkins is their talisman and focal point in attack.</p>
<p>He will be their top scorer again and is likely to be one of the highest scoring forwards come end of the season.</p>
<p>Watkins is the fourth highest predicted scoring forward in Gameweek 3 (5.2 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£15.1m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (a)</strong></p>
<p>Erling Haaland's hat trick last gameweek took him to four goals for the season and the joint highest points scorer (24 points) in the game.</p>
<p>It's inevitable he will finish the season with the most goals barring injuries, and the Norwegian is simply fixture proof.</p>
<p>Manchester City travel to West Ham in Gameweek 3 which doesn't look the best match up on paper, but they are still the joint favourites to score 2.5+ goals (48%).</p>
<p>Haaland is the definition of a talisman and gets the vast majority of Manchester City's chances. He registered the highest xG in the league for the last two seasons and this year won't be any different.</p>
<p>It's no surprise he is at 64% to score at anytime this gameweek too. Haaland is actually the highest predicted scoring player for Gameweek 3 overall (7.3 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_66417" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66417" class="size-full wp-image-66417" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FFStuffImage-2024-08-26T210235.176.jpg" alt="Erling Haaland Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Yoane Wissa (£6.0m) – Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Yoanne Wissa has had a strong start to the season with a goal and assist in his opening games.</p>
<p>The DR Congo international will benefit from the absence of <strong>Ivan Toney (£7.5m)</strong> who currently looks like he wont play for Brentford again.</p>
<p>Brentford couldn't ask for a better fixture this week as they welcome Southampton to the Gtech Community Stadium.</p>
<p>Thomas Frank's team will be heavy favourites to win and score a few goals too.</p>
<p>The Saints don't look to be very compact at the back. They conceded an xGC of 2.3 against Nottingham Forest last gameweek, who aren't exactly known for their attacking prowess.</p>
<p>Therefore the Bees should create plenty of chances against Russel Martin's side.</p>
<p>Wissa is the fifth highest predicted scoring forward (5.0 points) for Gameweek 3 according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>
